Re: The essence of fundamentalism. (none / 0)

Just jumping in right now so apologies in advance for irrelevancies or repeating things already said.

Under which category does stating God does not exist fall? It cannot be atheism, nor agnosticism.

Actually, it's athesim, by definition, but see the debate elsewhere in the thread.

I am more in agreement with the anti-theist label.

Mmm. (none / 0)

If, going on the easy definition of DoDo above, atheism is a lack of belief in God(s), doesn't make that them automatically anti-theist? Rephrased: are atheists diametrically opposed to theists?

Hang on, let's do this right. So, what's a theist? Is that similar to your definition of faith?

Fascinating thread, BTW.
